Calanque de Port Pin

Modern day calanques along the Mediterranean Sea are steep-sided valleys that the Holocene (Flandrian) marine transgression partially submerged to form cliff-edged inlets. These valleys were either incised by rivers or created by cave collapse as karstic dry valleys when sea level was lower than present. The Calanque port pin is one of the most beautiful Calanques, as it is lined with pine trees and has a sandy beach.
